The party said the refund should start from her days as commissioner in Ogun State from where she was appointed as the minister of finance.
The main opposition party also said Adeosun, who has dual citizenship, must be made to name those who assisted her to allegedly forge her National Youth Service Corps exemption certificate.
The National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, stated this in an interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja on Sunday.
He said if Adeosun named those that helped her, she would save the country from embarrassment arising from activities that members of the cartel would carry out in the future.
Secondus said it was not enough for Adeosun to resign, she must be made to face the law to serve as a deterrent to others.
He added that failure to take action would show that the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari remained partial in its fight against corruption.
Secondus said, “With the impunity that this government is known for, there is no way the minister would have resigned if not because we are in an election year.”
The PDP boss stated that if the minister were to be a woman of honour and the Buhari administration was serious about the fight against corruption, Adeosun ought to have resigned from her job or be sacked the day the scandal became public knowledge.
He said, “We expect the minister return all the money she had collected either as salaries or allowances before this scandal.
“She must calculate what she collected since her days as a commissioner in Ogun State up till the day she packed her belongings and left the ministry of finance and pay same to the coffers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“She must show Nigerians the teller with which she paid the money. This will enable Nigerians to know that she has done the needful.
“Also, we need to know the identities of those who helped her procure the fake NYSC discharged certificate. The government needs to clean the place of such characters.”
Secondus also asked Adeosun to return to Nigeria and serve her fatherland since the law did not exempt her from taking part in the NYSC scheme.
